This role is ideal for local students studying or looking to study social media or sports media at University, or graduates looking to continue building their portfolios of work.
Ideal candidates will have:
- An understanding of graphics design packages (Preferably the Adobe Suite and Canva)
- A fine eye for attention to detail
